Xin'an Old Town has been the site of a city since the 4th century, and retains the vibrant culture of ancient China in its narrow little streets. Modern buildings dominate the landscape, but as you stroll through them all, keep an eye out for glimpses into the city's ancient past. Check out the magnificently preserved Ming Dynasty Wall and Gate before visiting the Guan Yu Temple. You can explore the ancient naval headquarters and see a traditional opium den and a silver shop, and walk through "Flower Street" which was once a tiny little alleyway full of brothels. Here there is also an official stele dating back to the 18th century that denounces the evils of prostitution.

The Window of the World is a creative theme park in the western part of Shenzhen, so come and marvel at over 130 replicas of the most famous landmarks in the world. Dominating the skyline is an impressive reconstruction of the Eiffel Tower that stands 108m high, as well as the Pyramids and Taj Mahal just a short walk away. Happy Valley is another awesome theme park, and is broken into nine separate sections to heighten the entertainment. The most popular in summer is the Playa Maya Water Park, where you splash around in the pools and slip down water slides that are all constructed with an ancient Mayan theme.

Soak up the relaxing atmosphere at Mangrove Tree Beach Park, or head to Dafen Oil Painting Village to browse through the largest oil painting market in the world - you can even create your own!
